geothermal heat pump

A powerful solution that provides excellent energy efficiency

  • Ageo+ brine-to-water heat pumps extract energy from the ground.
    Because they use this free energy, which is replenished constantly by the sun or rain, they help to significantly lower electricity consumption.
  • The energy absorbed is transferred into homes via a radiant floor heating and cooling system and/or terminal units (fan coil units, Residenciat).
  • CIAT heat pumps are reversible, meaning that they can be used to heat the home in winter, cool the home in summer and heat pools during mild weather (optional).

3 types of loop possible

Example of internal diffusion radiant floor (downstairs) and fan coil units (upstairs)
  • Horizontal loop
    A horizontal loop is made up of several hundred metres of pipes buried at least 60 cm below the ground. The pipes are filled with a glycol-water solution that absorbs heat contained in the ground.

  • Groundwater loop
    The heat pump operates at optimum performance because the water table remains at a relatively high temperature all year long.
  • Vertical loop
    Used widely in the Nordic countries, vertical loops consist of two U-shaped pipes inserted in boreholes at depths of up to 100 m. They require much less land for installation.

New: a high temperature heat pump for use as boiler replacement in renovation is also available.
